BODY CODE DESIGNATIONS

DESCRIPTION

The 4T80-E transaxle uses 2 electric solenoids to control transaxle upshifts and downshifts. Transaxles also use a transaxle pressure control solenoid (force motor) solenoid to control line pressure, Transaxle Fluid Temperature (TFT) sensor, pressure switch assembly, 2 speed sensors: Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) and Transaxle Input Sensor (TIS), and a lock-up control solenoid for Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) operation. Each solenoid is turned on or off by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). PCM also includes on-board self-diagnostics. This helps identify which parts or circuits may need further testing.

OPERATION

Each solenoid either holds hydraulic pressure (solenoid on) or releases hydraulic pressure (solenoid off). This action controls shift valves inside valve body. By switching one or both solenoids on or off, different combinations of clutches, sprags and bands are operated. See CLUTCH & BAND APPLICATIONS under TROUBLE SHOOTING.

PCM

On Cadillac models, PCM is located in left corner of engine compartment under air cleaner housing. On Buick and Oldsmobile models, PCM is located under left kick panel. PCM controls ignition, fuel and emission devices related to engine and transaxle upshifts and downshifts.

PCM receives electronic signals from sensors and switches. These signals help PCM determine when to operate various relays and solenoids related to engine and transaxle control.

SENSORS & SWITCHES

PCM controls converter clutch lock-up, upshifts and downshifts based on transmission temperature, system voltage, throttle position, transmission oil pressure switches, and transmission output and input (engine) speed sensors. (Scheme 66) System also includes several other switches and sensors which are used for engine control. These components are covered in appropriate SYSTEM/COMPONENT TESTS article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE section

  2. For 4.0L Aurora, see «SYSTEM/COMPONENT TESTS»(ref-20351)

Shift Solenoids 1-2 ("A") & 2-3 ("B")

Transmission is shifted up or down by 2 electric shift solenoids. Both solenoids are located on valve body. (Scheme 66) Ignition power is supplied to each solenoid by transmission fuse. Solenoid 1-2 ("A") controls hydraulic pressure to 1-2 and 3-4 shift valves. Solenoid 2-3 ("B") controls hydraulic pressure to 3-2 and 4-3 shift valves.

Pressure Control Solenoid

Pressure control (force motor) solenoid has a spool valve and operates pressure regulator valve. (Scheme 66) PCM sends a frequency signal to pressure control solenoid to regulate hydraulic line pressure. Frequency signal (duty cycle) is measured with a dwell meter or lab scope. When duty cycle is zero, line pressure is at maximum, and pressure control solenoid draws zero amps. When duty cycle is 60 percent, line pressure is at minimum, and pressure control solenoid draws 1.1 amps at 4.5 volts.

TCC PWM Solenoid

This solenoid is used to control TCC apply valve. PCM sends a frequency signal to TCC PWM solenoid to gradually apply or release TCC. (Scheme 66)

Scheme 66

Scheme 66: TCC PWM Solenoid

SELF-DIAGNOSTICS

PCM constantly monitors all electrical circuits. If PCM detects circuit problems or sensors out of range, it will record a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC). If problem continues for a predetermined time, Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) will glow.

If MIL is on all the time, DTC(s) are currently being detected. If MIL is off, but PCM had detected a circuit or sensor problem, DTC(s) will be stored in computer memory.

Stored DTCs may be retrieved from PCM memory using a factory recommended Tech 1 scan tool or aftermarket scan tool. DTCs CANNOT be retrieved by grounding 16-pin Data Link Connector (DLC).

Note. Faulty engine sensors and actuators may cause transaxle related DTCs or driveability problems. Engine faults and related DTCs must be diagnosed and repaired before transaxle codes are repaired. For additional information on diagnosing and repairing engine related PCM trouble codes, see appropriate TESTS W/CODES in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE section

ELECTRONIC SELF-DIAGNOSTICS

Note. To test electronic control of transaxle solenoids without using self-diagnostics or if self-diagnostics does not function, go to appropriate COMPONENT TESTS under ELECTRONIC TESTING. After repairs are made, DTCs should be erased from computer memory. See CLEARING TROUBLE CODES under ELECTRONIC SELF-DIAGNOSTICS.

Note. Trouble codes will be recorded at various operating times. Some codes require operation of affected sensor or switch for 5 seconds; others may require operation for 5 minutes or longer at normal operating temperature, road speed and load. Therefore, some codes may not set in a service bay operational mode and may require road testing vehicle in order to duplicate condition under which code will set.

RETRIEVING CODES

Note. Stored DTCs may be retrieved from PCM memory using a factory recommended Tech 1 scan tool or aftermarket scan tool. DTCs CANNOT be retrieved by grounding 16-pin Data Link Connector (DLC). Plugging scan tool into DLC, located under instrument panel, enables user to read DTCs and check voltages in system on serial data line.

Scan tools may also furnish information on status of output devices (solenoids and relays). However, status parameters are only an indication that output signals have been sent to devices by control module; they do not indicate if devices have responded properly to signal. Check for proper response at output device using a voltmeter or test light.

If trouble codes are not present, this is not necessarily an indication a problem does not exist. Driveability related problems with codes displayed occur about 20 percent of the time, while driveability problems without codes occur about 80 percent of the time. Sensors that are out of specification WILL NOT set a trouble code but WILL cause driveability problems. Using scan tool is the easiest method of checking sensor specifications and other data parameters. Scan tool is also useful in finding intermittent wiring problems by wiggling wiring harness and connections (key on, engine off) while observing scan tool.

TROUBLE CODE DEFINITIONS

Note. Only transaxle-related trouble codes are listed. For engine-related DTCs, see appropriate TESTS W/CODES article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE section

  1. For 4.6L FWD Cadillac Models, see «TESTS W/CODES»(/cadillac/deville-concours/1994-1998/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-control-system-tests-wcodes)
  2. For 4.0L Aurora, see «TESTS W/CODES»(ref-20306)

These DTCs pertain to engine performance and must be repaired

first, as engine performance and related component signals

will affect transaxle operation and diagnosis.

PCM TROUBLE CODE DEFINITIONS

HARD OR INTERMITTENT TROUBLE CODE DETERMINATION

During any diagnostic procedure, it must be determined if codes are hard failure codes or intermittent failure codes. Diagnostic tests will not usually help analyze intermittent codes. To determine hard codes and intermittent codes, proceed as follows

  1. Enter diagnostic mode. See «RETRIEVING CODES»(/cadillac/deville-concours/1994-1998/remont/automatic-trans/#automatic-transaxle-diagnosis-4t80-e__retrieving-codes) . Read and record all stored DTCs. Exit diagnostic mode and clear trouble codes. See «CLEARING TROUBLE CODES»(/cadillac/deville-concours/1994-1998/remont/automatic-trans/#automatic-transaxle-diagnosis-4t80-e__clearing-trouble-codes) .
  2. Apply parking brake and place transaxle in Neutral or Park. Block drive wheels and start engine. MIL should go out. Run warm engine at specified curb idle for 2 minutes and note MIL.
  3. If MIL comes on, enter diagnostic mode. Read and record DTCs. This will reveal hard failure codes. DTCs may require a road test to reset hard failure after clearing DTCs. If MIL does not come on, all stored DTCs were intermittent failures.

CLEARING TROUBLE CODES

A scan tool can clear DTCS from the PCM history. The PCM clears the DTC from the PCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without a failure reported.

DIAGNOSTIC TESTS

Note. Proceed to displayed DTC. Not all DTCs are applicable to all models.

Following diagnostic tests are DTC specific. Always perform On-Board Diagnostic (ODD) System Check prior to performing any diagnostic procedure. For terminal locations, see WIRING DIAGRAMS . For engine-related DTCs, see appropriate TESTS W/CODES article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE section.

  1. For 4.6L FWD Cadillac Models, see «TESTS W/CODES»(/cadillac/deville-concours/1994-1998/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-control-system-tests-wcodes)
  2. For 4.0L Aurora, see «TESTS W/CODES»(ref-20306)

Diagnostic Aids

Diagnostic aids located at end of each diagnostic test, are additional tips used to help diagnose trouble codes when diagnostic procedures do not find a problem.

ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (OBD) SYSTEM CHECK

Note. Use of Tech 1 scan tool is required to perform OBD system check. Perform this test prior to performing any diagnostic procedures in DTC tests.

The OBD System Check determines

  1. If Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) works.
  2. If PCM is operating and can recognize a fault.
  3. If any codes are stored.

OBD system check is the starting point for utilizing the self-diagnostic system for determining computer-related problems. After performing necessary tests as described in diagnostic system check, if no codes are indicated and driveability problems still exist, see appropriate H - TEST W/O CODES article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE section

  1. For 4.6L FWD Cadillac Models, see «TESTS W/O CODES»(/cadillac/deville-concours/1994-1998/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-control-system-tests-wo-codes)
  2. For 4.0L Aurora, see «TESTS W/O CODES»(/cadillac/deville-concours/1994-1998/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-control-system-tests-wo-codes)

Note. The following steps should be performed first to reduce diagnostic time and prevent replacement of good parts.

DTC P0218 - TRANSAXLE TEMPERATURE TOO HIGH

Note. Perform OBD system check prior to performing diagnostic procedures. For wire circuit identification, see WIRING DIAGRAMS . For fluid circuit identification, see OIL CIRCUIT DIAGRAMS in section No. 1.

Circuit Description

Transaxle Fluid Temperature (TFT) sensor is a negative coefficient thermistor. When transaxle fluid is cold, sensor resistance is high. As transaxle temperature warms up, sensor resistance lowers. PCM uses TFT information to control Torque Converter Clutch (TCC), line pressure and shift timing. TFT range is from -40 to 305°F (-40 to 151°C). IDLE ENGINE TRANSMISSION HOT message will display on Driver Information Center (DIC).

Conditions For Setting DTC P0218

DTC will set under the following conditions

  1. DTCs P0116, P0117 or P0118 (engine coolant temperature) are not present.
  2. DTCs P0711, P0712 or P0713 (transaxle fluid temperature) are not present.
  3. Transaxle fluid temperature is greater than 266°F (130°C) for 15 minutes, or 291°F (144°C) for 32 seconds.

Diagnostic Procedure

  1. Ensure transaxle fluid level is correct. DTC P0218 can only be set if one or more of the following conditions exist. Inspect for these conditions: Engine overheating (thermostat and/or restricted radiator) Vehicle overloading Transaxle fluid contaminated with anti-freeze Transaxle filter clogged or not seated properly Low line pressure (cooler lines clogged or restricted)

Repair or replace components as necessary, then go to next step.

2) After repair is complete, select DTC on scan tool. Select "Clear Info" function. Select "Specific DTC" and enter DTC "P0218". Turn ignition on for more than 5 seconds. Ensure transaxle fluid temperature stays below 248°F (120°C). If DTC P0218 is not present, repair is complete. If DTC P0218 is still present, repeat test.

Check transaxle and PCM connectors for bent, broken or backed out terminals. Check transaxle cooling system for possible blockage and/or restrictions. Ensure transaxle fluid level is correct.

P0502, VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR CIRCUIT (LOW INPUT)

Note. Perform OBD system check prior to performing diagnostic procedures. For wire circuit identification, see WIRING DIAGRAMS .

Vehicle speed is signaled to PCM by Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS). Sensor is a Permanent Magnet (PM) generator mounted to transaxle case extension. PM generator produces an AC voltage as speed sensor rotor teeth pass sensor's magnetic field. PCM converts AC voltage into digital signal. PCM uses vehicle speed to determine shift timing, TCC apply and release, and gear ratio calculations. VSS voltage will vary from .5 volts AC at 100 RPM to more than 100 volts AC at 8000 RPM. VSS resistance value is 1300-1950 ohms. DTC P0502 is set if PCM detects a low vehicle output speed when vehicle has high engine speed in drive gear.

Conditions For Setting DTC P0502

DTC will set under the following conditions

  1. DTCs P0101, P0102 and P0103 (MAF sensor), or P0121, P0122 and P0123 (throttle position) are not present.
  2. DTCs P0716 and P0717 (transaxle input shaft speed sensor) and P1810 (TFP valve position switch) are not present.
  3. Transaxle is not in Park, Neutral or Reverse.
  4. Engine speed is more than 2000 RPM.
  5. Throttle angle is more than 12.8 degrees.
  6. Vehicle speed is less than 5 MPH for 2 seconds.
  7. Engine torque is more than 80 ft. lbs. (109 N.m).

DTC P0502 will be stored in PCM history. MIL will light at first failure signal. SERVICE ENGINE SOON, SPEED SENSOR FAULT is displayed on Driver Information Display (DIC). PCM will inhibit TCC and goes to default line pressure. PCM will calculate vehicle speed from input speed sensor and commanded gear. PCM disables cruise control.

Diagnostic Procedures

  1. Connect scan tool to DLC. Turn ignition switch to ON position. DO NOT start engine. Using scan tool, record freeze frame and failure records for reference. Data will be lost when DTCs are cleared later in this test. Raise and support vehicle. CAUTION: To prevent damage to drive axles, support lower control arms in normal horizontal position.
  2. Start engine and let idle. Shift gear selector to "D" position. Select OSS RPM on scan tool. With drive wheels rotating, if transaxle output speed does not increase when wheel speed increases, go to next step. If transaxle output speed increases when wheel speed increases, cause is intermittent. See DIAGNOSTIC AIDS.
  3. Turn ignition off. Disconnect PCM connector C2. Connect voltmeter between VSS terminals at PCM connector C2. Rotate drive wheels and observe voltmeter display. If voltage is more than .5 volt, go to next step. If voltage is less than .5 volt, go to step 5.
  4. Use scan tool to check for most current PCM calibration I.D. number. Refer to manufacturer service bulletins if necessary. If I.D. number matches, replace PCM, then go to step 8). If I.D number does not match, update PCM with latest calibration, then go to step 8.
  5. Connect ohmmeter between VSS terminals at PCM connector C2. If resistance is less than 1950 ohms, go to next step. If resistance is more than 1950 ohms, check for open circuit between VSS and PCM. Repair as necessary, then go to step 8). If open circuit is not found, go to step 7.
  6. Check for VSS wires shorted together. Repair wires as necessary, then go to next step. If resistance is more than 1300 ohms, check for short to ground in circuits between VSS and PCM. Repair circuits as necessary, then go to step 8. If wires were not shorted together or shorted to ground, go to next step.
  7. Remove VSS from transaxle. Connect ohmmeter between VSS terminals. If resistance is 1300-1950 ohms, replace PCM and go to next step. If resistance is not 1300-1950 ohms, replace VSS, then go to next step.
  8. Install VSS into transaxle. After repair is complete, select DTC on scan tool. Select "Clear Info" function. Select "Specific DTC" and enter DTC "P0502". Test drive vehicle. If DTC P0502 is not present, repair is complete. If DTC P0502 is still present, repeat test.

Check for Electromagnetic Interferences (EMI) induced on VSS circuits caused by misrouted wires along spark plug wires. Check for bent, backed out or broken terminals, or misaligned connectors. Ensure VSS is secured to transaxle case extension.

Vehicle speed is signaled to PCM by Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS). Sensor is a Permanent Magnet (PM) generator mounted to transaxle case extension. PM generator produces an AC voltage as speed sensor rotor teeth pass sensor's magnetic field. PCM converts AC voltage into digital signal. PCM uses vehicle speed to determine shift timing, TCC apply and release, and gear ratio calculations. VSS voltage will vary from .5 volt AC at 100 RPM to more than 100 volts AC at 8000 RPM. VSS resistance value is 1300-1950 ohms. DTC P0502 is set if PCM detects a low vehicle output speed when vehicle has high engine speed in drive gear.

Repair circuits as necessary, then go to step 8. If wires were not shorted together or shorted to ground, go to next step.
  7. Remove VSS from transaxle. Connect ohmmeter between VSS terminals. If resistance is 1300-1950 ohms, replace PCM and go to next step. If resistance is not 1300-1950 ohms, replace VSS, then go to next step.
  8. Install VSS into transaxle. After repair is complete, select DTC on scan tool. Select "Clear Info" function. Select "Specific DTC" and enter DTC "P0503". Test drive vehicle. If DTC P0503 is not present, repair is complete. If DTC P0503 is still present, repeat test.

Check for Electromagnetic Interferences (EMI) induced on VSS circuits caused by misrouted wires along spark plug wires. Check for bent, backed out or broken terminals, or misaligned connectors. Ensure VSS is secured to transaxle case extension.

P0711, TRANS. FLUID TEMPERATURE (TFT) SENSOR CIRCUIT (RANGE/PERFORMANCE)

Note. Perform OBD system check prior to performing diagnostic procedures. For wire circuit identification, see WIRING DIAGRAMS .

Transaxle Fluid Temperature (TFT) sensor is a negative coefficient thermistor whose resistance value changes based on temperature. TFT sensor resistance decreases as transaxle fluid warms. PCM provides a 5 volt reference to sensor on TFT signal circuit. A short to ground in circuit results in low signal voltage. TFT operating range is from -40° to 305°F (-40° to 151°C). DTC P0711 is set when PCM detects an intermittent voltage or no voltage change in TFT sensor circuit.

Conditions For Setting DTC P0711

DTC will set under the following conditions

  1. DTC P0116, P0117, P0118, P1114 or P1115 is not present.
  2. DTC P0502 or P0503 is not present.
  3. DTC P0560 (system voltage malfunction) is not present.
  4. DTC P0712 or P0713 is not present.
  5. DTC P0716 or P0717 (input speed sensor) is not present.
  6. Transaxle fluid temperature is 32-212°F (0-100°C) at start- up.
  7. Engine is running for more than 5 minutes.
  8. Vehicle speed is more than 5 MPH for 2 minutes.
  9. TCC slip is more than 48 RPM for 2 minutes.
  10. Engine coolant temperature is more than 32°F (0°C) and has changed more than 72°F (40°C) since start-up.

If any ECT codes are set or ECT is more than 230°F (110°C) and engine run time is more than 5 minutes, PCM will substitute a TFT value of 269°F (132°C).

If ECT is less than 230°F (110°C), PCM will substitute a TFT value of ECT minus 50°F (10°C) when IAT is less than 176°F (80°C) at ignition on. If IAT is more than 176°F (80°C), PCM will substitute a TFT value of ECT plus 50°F (10°C).

If none of these conditions exist, PCM will substitute a TFT value of 176°F (80°C).

  1. Ensure transaxle fluid level is correct. Connect scan tool to DLC. Turn ignition switch to ON position. DO NOT start engine. Using scan tool, record freeze frame and failure records for reference. Data will be lost when DTCs are cleared later in this test.
  2. Clear DTCs. Start engine and allow to idle. Monitor TFT, ECT and IAT sensor temperature values.

PRESSURE SWITCH ASSEMBLY

  1. Install Jumper Harness (J39775) to transmission 20-pin connector. Using DVOM, measure resistance between terminal "N" of 20-pin harness connector and ground. (Scheme 67) If resistance is more than 1000 ohms, go to next step. If resistance is less than 1000 ohms, inspect and repair range "A" circuit between TFP manual valve position switch and 20-pin harness connector, then go to step 7. See «WIRING DIAGRAMS»(/cadillac/deville-concours/1994-1998/remont/automatic-trans/#automatic-transaxle-diagnosis-4t80-e). If circuit is okay, replace TFP manual valve position switch, then go to step 7.
  2. Measure resistance between terminal "R" of 20-pin harness connector and ground. If resistance is more than 1000 ohms, go to next step. If resistance is less than 1000 ohms, inspect and repair range "B" circuit between TFP manual valve position switch and 20-pin harness connector, then go to step 7. See «WIRING DIAGRAMS»(/cadillac/deville-concours/1994-1998/remont/automatic-trans/#automatic-transaxle-diagnosis-4t80-e). If circuit is okay, replace TFP manual valve position switch, then go to step 7.
  3. Measure resistance between terminal "P" of 20-pin harness connector and ground. If resistance is more than 1000 ohms, go to next step. If resistance is less than 1000 ohms, inspect and repair range "C" circuit between TFP manual valve position switch and 20-pin harness connector, then go to step 7. See «WIRING DIAGRAMS»(/cadillac/deville-concours/1994-1998/remont/automatic-trans/#automatic-transaxle-diagnosis-4t80-e). If circuit is okay, replace TFP manual valve position switch, then go to step 7.
  4. Start engine and allow to idle. Place gear selector in reverse. Measure resistance between terminal "N" of 20-pin harness connector and ground. If resistance is more than 5 ohms, go to next step. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, inspect and repair range "A" circuit between TFP manual valve position switch and 20-pin harness connector, then go to step 7. If circuit is okay, replace TFP manual valve position switch, then go to step 7.
  5. Measure resistance between terminal "R" of 20-pin harness connector and ground. If resistance is more than 5 ohms, go to next step. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, inspect and repair range "B" circuit between TFP manual valve position switch and 20-pin harness connector, then go to step 7. If circuit is okay, replace TFP manual valve position switch, then go to step 7.
  6. Shift gear selector to D4. Measure resistance between terminal "P" of 20-pin harness connector and ground. If resistance is more than 5 ohms, replace TFP manual valve position switch, then go to step 7. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, inspect and repair range "C" circuit between TFP manual valve position switch and 20-pin harness connector, then go to step 7. If circuit is okay, replace TFP manual valve position switch, then go to step 7.
  7. After repair is complete, select DTC on scan tool. Select "Clear Info" function. Test drive vehicle. Ensure transaxle upshifts and downshifts correctly. Select "Specific DTC" and enter DTC "P1810". If DTC P1810 is not present, repair is complete. If DTC P1810 is still present, go to step 24 of DTC P1810 under «DIAGNOSTIC TESTS»(/cadillac/deville-concours/1994-1998/remont/automatic-trans/#automatic-transaxle-diagnosis-4t80-e__diagnostic-tests).
